Beings such as EMO Pet Robot, Anki's Cosmo and Vector, Elik, PlantsIO... I wonder if they have spyware.

If you shop on AliExpress and your Bluetooth headphones stop switching between devices, this is caused by hidden tracking scripts on the site, not broken hardware. Install uBlock Origin and add filter rules to block collina.js and fireyejs.js on aliexpress.com, then close all open AliExpress tabs and reload the site for the fix to take effect.

...

AliExpress users report a privacy-invasive tracking mechanism on the company's homepage that interferes with Bluetooth hardware. The site runs hidden audio processes that prevent multipoint headphones from switching between devices. This behavior occurs even when the tab is idle and no media is visible to the user. The issue is caused by Alibaba's security scripts designed for device identification and anti-fraud detection.

A Waymo representative said the vehicles’ data collection while parked is limited and not designed to continuously record pedestrians, license plates, families walking on sidewalks or children playing in driveways.

A loyal GM customer bought a 2022 Corvette, then couldn't get a single insurance company to cover him. The reason wasn't his record. It was what his own car had been quietly reporting about him.

Your car is almost certainly doing the same thing right now. This is the model-by-model breakdown of the always-on tracker hiding in Toyota, Ford, and GM vehicles, where it lives on each one, and what owners are actually doing about it in their own driveways. One of these three brands you can shut up in five minutes. One of them you can't shut up at all.

On Monday August 17th 2026 I toured the Seattle Police Department’s (SPD) Real Time Crime Center (RTCC), along with 6 other members of a group called 'Community Not Cameras', to get a better understanding of how the surveillance cameras located around the city, worked and how the data these cameras collect is stored and used.

I went in hoping to be reassured, but left with far more concerns about the many ways the extremely minimal security measures put in place to restrict data from the cities surveillance systems could be circumvented.

At times the meeting was tense, and I'll explain what caused one of the SPD employees to suddenly stomp out of the room, twice.

Palantir just released a new surveillance system that fuses satellites, radars and every camera into one real-time tracker of people and movement

We have to consider the possibility (probability?) that with Flock as the eyes, a system like this could be overlaid onto the US and we could be the targets.

Another reason we cannot allow Flock to exist.

(this is my first post im new) ive noticed something no one seems to have a problem with. do you have this problem to? am i just doing something wrong?

i use a privacy friendly browser plus a privacy friendly os and use fingerprint spoofer/blocker. i watch videos on invidious. i noticed that the "popular" tab shows videos related to videos i watched before. even if i clear my cookies, or change my idenity in (offiscial) tor browser i still get recommended related videos meaning no matter what i do google knows what i watch. whats worse, if i go on invidious on a totally different device with a normal broswer normal os, i get the same videos. meaning websites know what videos i watch across multiple sessions but also multiple devices. im sick of this. it feels like i've tried everything, sacrificed so much connivence but no results.

(this isn't a question spefecifically about youtube google or invindious just how to get webisites to stop knowing everything i do across multiple identities and every device i use)

Things I tried

*Proton vpn+librewolf(max security according to settings)+nosircpt+Ublock(with the filters it comes with)+ officisal recommended invidious instances+Quad9 via settings

*Tails+Tor browser(max security settings apprentaly)+default bridge+no javascirpt+fingerprint spoofing estendsion+bluetooth disabled by tails+all the previous mentioned (exculding vpn i heard its risky)+invidious again (Tails doesn't work well for me the police are not after me and it takes so long to start and presisent stoarage is annoying)

*Qubes+Whonix vm+Tor browser(max again)+no javascript (I love and hate qubes from my first impression it meets my security needs and you can run any os in a vm on it but i wish it just worked. theres a steep learning curve and my hardware isn't the best for it)

No results on any of these just slower internet and some websites are broken. Its just like using a normal browser that tracks you but slow as a privacy one. im getting tired of this. i use all this super deep level paranoid overkill stufff and nothing happens. like im burning my house to get rid of a spider but the spider is still there

possible causes -google wireless access point (does qubes/whonix/tor NOT protect against this at all??) (also my family HATES any changes or mild inconveniences)

-i logged in to google without a vpn ONCE does this automatically doom you forever even if you change os and browser and device?

-hardware is framework laptop

for clairtiy

I am not

-a criminal -a journalist -a gooner -willing to go off grid in the woods

I am

-creeped out -tired -about to give up

My privacy goals

-be able to actually cut ties with my shadow profile and have websites not know everything ive done in my life -control what data brokers and compaines knsw -not have any website at all know every device i use -be able to use any network safely

I feel like giving up on privacy because nothing seems to work. the only results I get is slower more broken internet

The real reason for everything - surveillance, crackdown, border control, geopolitical instability. Support my independent work: www.patreon.com/thehatedone

The men above you convinced you that it is necessary to put up a mass surveillance state for your protection – surveillance not even you can escape from. Why do you think that is?

Step inside your car and every mile you take will be tracked with precision and tied to your identity. Step outside and escape to the woods? Tens of thousands of disguised motion-triggered cameras will follow your every step. Wanna hit the gym to get into shape? Government spies will buy your data and location from your fitness tracker. What do you think they need all that data for?

Go ahead, turn off location services on your phone. See what it does. Unless you are in airplane mode, your phone's location will be tracked by whoever made your phone and also whoever is providing telecommunications services in your area. This data is not considered yours nor private and so is retained indefinitely and shared with impunity.

Cameras are no longer just passively recording the streets. They are actively monitored by AI to identify and track in real time just about anyone it chooses for a target. No particular target in sight? Never mind. Behavioral AI analysis will find and identify an angry commuter who just missed their train and will alert nearby enforcement units because of 'suspicious behavior'.

An enforcement officer has access to so much surveillance power they can just point a camera at your face and immediately get your name, where you live or where you work. A camera that's on an enforcer's phone or increasingly more so – their AI glasses. You laughed when this was coming in China. Now you are meant to cheer for it.

And that was the whole point. To gradually get you to a point of inescapable mass surveillance that can target anyone and everyone and you wouldn't even put up a protest. Not only will you not protest this. You are told to gleefully cheer for the men in power who did this to you. Men in power you are told to worship are the same men who'll send you or your son to another war while they make fortunes from the chaos your family will get to bear.

Why do you think the mass surveillance system of absolute power never went away? First, they told you it was to fight against terrorism. They didn't define what terrorism was. They never acknowledged they were participating it. The mass surveillance didn't expire. No, it was expanded still. They just moved from terror to drug enforcement. Then to enforce immigration policies. Then to protect the children. Now anything that is scandalous or can fall under the vague umbrella of 'national security' is used to justify what was supposed to be a temporary limit on your freedoms.

Now they are getting you used to military-looking men roaming the streets with the power to legally destroy you and surveillance states to make sure they can. The powerful men above you convinced you to believe they are doing this to protect you from other men they told you to hate. But they forgot to mention that the same power to enforce something you may like can be used to enforce something you don't like. So that you don't get the wrong idea, that maybe no one man should have all that power.

Because they fed you this illusion that maybe you could be the führer's favorite. So that you wouldn't end up at other side of his barrel. But to him, you are just a resource. A resource to be converted for something of greater value to him than your life.

And this is why they are doing this to you. The Chinese government has been doing it. The Russian government has been doing it. Therefore, your government must also be doing it if they want to stand a chance on the world scene. It's a system of geopolitical adaptation. The bridge between your personal life and geopolitics has been crossed. To all of them, their citizens are resources to play the game of politics with. Those that know their numbers better have a higher chance of succeeding.

The case of Samuel Tunick allegedly wiping a phone before DHS could search it

FISA is a sweeping surveillance authority that allows the warrantless surveillance of Americans in the name of national security. It was originally created to stop intelligence agencies from spying on people in the US without oversight. But over time, the guardrails came off. And the man who helped build some of those guardrails at the FBI now says the system has gone badly wrong. In this video, we trace the full history of FISA, from the abuses that created it, to the safeguards that once held it in check, to how it became the legal foundation for one of the most powerful warrantless surveillance systems in America.

The FISA Process Got Corrupted What is FISA The Lead-Up What FISA Did Building the Safeguards Dismantling the Safeguards The Current Fight This Machine Does Not Care Who Inherits It

FISA is a weapon we keep handing forward, trusting that whoever picks it up next will be as restrained as the last person who held it. When you're told to just trust the system, you're not being asked to trust the careful, decent person who built it. You're being asked to trust everyone who will ever hold it after him. Every administration. The politician you'd never vote for. The official who already thinks people like you are the enemy.

The question was never whether we can trust the people in charge today. It's why we built something this dangerous to hand to anyone at all.

It’s not my event, but if you care about privacy (and are in the area), I’d really appreciate it if you showed this guy some support. He’s putting in hours on the ground to organize folks.
